A 50-year-old man is reborn and becomes a complete slacker, leaving his scumbag children completely

The next morning, Hu Guanbao went to the pig farm, quickly finished his work, and then went to the brigade headquarters to find the brigade leader, Li Wude.

After Hu Guanbao explained his purpose, Li Wude initially did not want to get involved, since this was a family matter. However, thinking of Hu Dahai, Li Wude agreed anyway.

In Li Wude's view, blood is thicker than water. Although Hu Dahai said that he had separated from his eldest son and would no longer acknowledge him, after so many years of affection, and considering that he was his own son, Hu Dahai must still care to some extent.

Now, Hu Dahai has not only brought income to their Qunyi Brigade, but also created many job opportunities. Li Wude also wanted to take this opportunity to give Hu Dahai some face.

So the two of them went to Zhang Yuzhen's house.

At this time, Zhang's father, Zhang Yuzhen, and Zhang Zude had all returned from their maternal grandmother's house.

When she saw Hu Guanbao coming over, Zhang Yuzhen immediately walked over and said, "Guanbao, you're here. I came to your house last night, but you kept the door closed and I couldn't get in."

Last night, urged by her father, Zhang Yuzhen went to find Hu Guanbao. However, when she arrived at the shack, she found no trace of Hu Guanbao. She then went to Hu Dahai's place and saw Hu Guanbao inside the house, but Hu Guanbao had barricaded the door from the inside with a pillar, preventing Zhang Yuzhen from entering.

She was too embarrassed to call out Hu Guanbao's name outside, fearing that someone might hear or see her and say that Zhang Yuzhen was trying to get close to Hu Guanbao, which would be too embarrassing. So, whenever she couldn't get in, she would immediately go home.

"Hmph!" Hu Guanbao ignored Zhang Yuzhen and snorted through his nose.

He kept in mind Hu Dahai's mocking words from yesterday and was determined not to be fooled by Zhang Yuzhen again.

"Guanbao, are you sure you want to divorce Zhang Yuzhen?" Li Wude asked curiously, seeing that Zhang Yuzhen still wanted to stay with Hu Guanbao.

"Divorce? Who said anything about divorce?" Before Hu Guanbao could speak, Zhang Yuzhen spoke anxiously, her voice rising slightly.

Upon hearing Zhang Yuzhen's loud voice, Hu Guanbao's momentum instantly weakened. He had been suppressed by Zhang Yuzhen for many years and had developed a habitual timidity.

Just then, Hu Dahai's mocking words resurfaced in his mind: "When Zhang Yuzhen comes looking for you tomorrow, you'll be licking her boots like a dog again."

This sentence reminded him of what he had overheard by the wall yesterday.

Yeah, I'm here to get a divorce, I'm not afraid of this woman!

Hu Guanbao, who had been somewhat timid, straightened up again and said emphatically, "I'm here to get a divorce! You shameless woman, you're always siding with outsiders, you're not here to live a life together!"

"Since you're so eager to help your family, then we'll get a divorce and grant your wish, so you can completely help your family!"

"The brigade leader is here today to testify for us. We'll let go of the previous dowry, but all my wages over the years have been in your hands, and you must return them to me today!"

"I don't want to split it!" Zhang Yuzhen retorted forcefully as soon as Hu Guanbao finished speaking.

"Anyway, I'm not going to stay with you anymore. If you don't break up with me, you have to pay me back!" Hu Guanbao said fiercely, his eyes narrowing.

He could only choose between his father and the woman, and Zhang Yuzhen was completely unreliable. He now firmly chose his father.

He even regretted it a little; if he had given all the money to his father back then, he certainly wouldn't be in this situation now.

Li Wude had a general idea of ​​what was going on. He coughed lightly and said to both sides, "Let me tell you something, isn't it obvious what's going on between you two?"

“You, Zhang Yuzhen, don’t want to live with Hu Guanbao at all, and Hu Guanbao doesn’t want to live with you either. What’s the point of continuing like this?”

"Even if you don't get a divorce today, do you really think Hu Guanbao will still give you money like before?"

"If you ask me, you should get a divorce and let Zhang Yuzhen find a new family, see who has enough money and doesn't mind giving money to your family."

Li Wude also hoped that Hu Guanbao could divorce Zhang Yuzhen, because he felt that Hu Dahai was rising rapidly, and Zhang Yuzhen's family, judging from the fish-selling incident last time, were very selfish and self-centered people.

So, if he, as the team leader, could help Hu Dahai clear away obstacles and people who were holding him back, it would be considered as giving him a helping hand.

It must be said that Li Wude was quite adept at manipulating people's hearts. After he said that, the Zhang family members immediately fell silent and began to carefully consider the meaning of Li Wude's words.

Because Li Wude's words made a lot of sense. The current Hu Guanbao is not the same Hu Guanbao as before. Even if Zhang Yuzhen continues to live with Hu Guanbao, they probably won't be able to take advantage of him.

The Zhang family members exchanged glances, their communication already complete through their eyes.

They reached a consensus that divorce would be better.

"Sigh." Mr. Zhang sighed deeply, then said to them, "We really don't want our daughter to get a divorce, but if Guanbao insists on it, there's nothing we can do. It's just that we really don't have the money; we really can't come up with it."

In that instant, Zhang's father aged considerably. His son got engaged and then broke off the engagement, and his daughter got married and is now getting divorced. To this day, they still don't have a third generation.

Li Wude immediately saw through their scheme. He turned to Hu Guanbao and asked, "Do you remember how much money you gave them?"

“Of course, all my salary and extra income over the years have gone to this woman, and now she can’t come up with any more. I don’t know where she’s spent it.” Hu Guanbao said, and roughly calculated: “Not to mention anything else, at least he still has more than 600 yuan in his hands.”

"So you mean you want them to return 600 to you?" Li Wude thought to himself that Hu Guanbao was too honest; he should at least have asked for a higher amount.

“Yes!” Hu Guanbao nodded in agreement.

"Bullshit, how could there be 600? How much money did you earn? Don't you need to eat or drink?" Zhang Yuzhen shouted excitedly.

Hu Guanbao retorted, "You're talking nonsense! We all eat and drink my dad's food, how could we have used our own money? Even my clothes were bought for me by my dad, you've never bought me a single piece of clothing!"

Zhang Yuzhen was rendered speechless by Hu Guanbao's scolding, because what Hu Guanbao said was true.

Li Wude then seized the opportunity to say, "Alright, everyone in our brigade knows about your family's affairs. You'd better return the money to Guan Bao, otherwise your family members will be talked about with shame when they go out. Yuzhen and Zude still need to find partners in the future, so don't be so ruthless. They didn't ask for a dowry, so you've already gotten a good deal."

"But we really have no money!" Zhang's father was almost in tears. He knew perfectly well that what Li Wude said was true, but right now he was penniless.

“If you don’t have money, write an IOU or sell something!” Li Wude said firmly, “If you’re so happy to take the money, then you should honestly pay it back.”

Finally, with no other option, the Zhang family had to sign an IOU with Hu Guanbao amidst the cursing and swearing of Zhang Yuzhen and Zhang Zude, and Li Wude also signed it as a witness.

They can't get away with it even if they want to.

While Hu Guanbao and his wife were still going through their divorce, Hu Dahai and Guan Asan had already brought their fish to Hangzhou.

However, when they received the fish from Fengsheng Brigade and were delivering them to the state-owned textile factory, someone blocked their way as they passed through a small alley.
